US-CHINA

(MNI) London - Comments from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce hitting wires regarding the US inclusion of some Chinese firms on the latest export control list over military and human rights concerns. MOFCOM states that it firmly opposes the US' actions, saying that the "US should immediately correct wrongdoings and stop groundless suppression of Chinese firms." Adds that "China will take necessary measures and resolutely safeguard legitimate rights and interests of Chinese firms."

  • A total of 31 Chinese entities were added to the US' list on 12 June. Reuters reports that the list includes, "Frontier Services Group Ltd, a security and aviation company[...] for training Chinese military pilots and other activities that threaten U.S. national security.
